Rapid birth-death evolution specific to xenobiotic cytochrome P450 genes in vertebrates.
Genes vary greatly in their long-term phylogenetic stability and there exists no general explanation for these differences. The cytochrome P450 (CYP450) gene superfamily is well suited to investigating this problem because it is large and well studied, and it includes both stable and unstable genes....
